Yarai Kagome Burgundy Wine Glass
BY Shimizu Glass
$620 USD
An extremely limited-edition design, Shimizu Glass Co.’s Yarai Kagome Wine Glass is a sterling example of Edo kiriko cut glass from masters of the ancient art form, who have been practicing it for more than 100 years. Meticulously hand-blown and cut with interwoven, traditional Japanese motifs, it is crafted by a team of exceptional glassmakers in a small workshop in Tokyo with timeless patterns and rich coloration. The “kagome,” motif evokes basketweaving—a symbol of protection—emphasized by the deep burgundy produced by blending copper particles into the glass.
Handwash recommended.
